Dark

Dark is the light in us all
Death destruction and poverty consumes all
But there is a light 
A light so bright
A light in us all

In a world full of complexities
The light seems to fade 
Humanity in such disdain
The heartless scorn which mourns
There is a light for all

Do you go towards the light?
Be it the bitter end or a new beginning
A void or paradise
Complacency takes his stride
Are we worthy?

I speak for all
As the darkness begins to fall
There is a bird that takes flight
Is it a symbol of hope?
Or just another one’s demise?
